These small Go projects will build big Go skills! Learn hands-on as you build 11 engaging applications. Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects teaches you to write professional-level Go code by creating handy tools and fun apps. Each small, self-contained project introduces important practical skills, including ensuring that your code is thoroughly tested and documented! You’ll make architectural decisions for your projects and organize your code in a maintainable way. Everything you learn is easy to scale-up to full-size Go applications. Go delivers the low-level power of system languages like C and Rust with developer-friendly features like garbage collection and a powerful standard library. Millions of programmers choose Go because it speeds up program construction, streamlines dependency management, and makes complex code simple to write, read, and maintain. This book is for developers who want to learn the language in a fun and interactive way, and be comfortable enough to use it professionally. Each chapter is an independent pocket-sized project. The book covers the specificities of the language, such as implicit interfaces and how they help in test design. Testing the code is included throughout the book. We want to help the reader become a good modern software developer while using the Go language. This book also contains tutorials for command-line interfaces, and for both REST and gRPC microservices, showing how the language is great for cloud computing. It finishes with a project that uses TinyGo, the compiler for embedded systems.

Solve design, planning, and control problems using modern machine learning and AI techniques. Optimization problems are everywhere in daily life. What’s the fastest route from one place to another? How do you calculate the optimal price for a product? How should you plant crops, allocate resources, and schedule surgeries? Optimization Algorithms introduces the AI algorithms that can solve these complex and poorly-structured problems. Inside you’ll find a wide range of optimization methods, from deterministic and stochastic derivative-free optimization to nature-inspired search algorithms and machine learning methods. Don’t worry—there’s no complex mathematical notation. You’ll learn through in-depth case studies that cut through academic complexity to demonstrate how each algorithm works in the real world.

Learning a computer language like R can be either frustrating, fun or boring. Having fun requires challenges that wake up the learner’s curiosity but also provide an emotional reward for overcoming them. The book is designed so that it includes smaller and bigger challenges, in what I call playgrounds, in the hope that all readers will enjoy their path to R fluency. Fluency in the use of a language is a skill that is acquired through practice and exploration. For students and professionals in the biological sciences, humanities and many applied fields, recognizing the parallels between R and natural languages should help them feel at home with R. The approach I use is similar to that of a travel guide, encouraging exploration and describing the available alternatives and how to reach them. The intention is to guide the reader through the R landscape of 2024 and beyond. In R, like in most “rich” languages, there are multiple ways of coding the same operations. I have included code examples that aim to strike a balance between execution speed and readability. One could write equivalent R books using substantially different code examples. Keep this in mind when reading the book and using R. Keep also in mind that it is impossible to remember everything about R, and as a user you will frequently need to consult the documentation, even while doing the exercises in this book. The R language, in a broad sense, is vast because it can be expanded with independently developed packages. Learning to use R mainly consists of learning the basics plus developing the skill of finding your way in R, its documentation and on-line question-and-answer forums.

Elevate Your Development with Effortless and Efficient API Communication. “Modern API Design with gRPC” is a definitive guide that empowers developers to leverage the full potential of gRPC in constructing efficient and scalable distributed systems. Beginning with an exploration of API evolution and its significance in software development, the book seamlessly transitions into the core concepts of gRPC architecture, protocol buffers, and stubs. Through practical examples and clear instructions, readers embark on a journey to establish their first gRPC server and client, laying a solid groundwork for further exploration. An API, or ‘Application Programming Interface,’ serves as a bridge between software components. I personally perceive the origin of APIs in the pursuit of ‘Code Reusability,’ akin to the motivation behind crafting functions. What sets APIs apart from functions is their inherent ‘Remote-ness,’ where APIs are stationed at network-accessible locations. This book caters to intermediate to advanced software developers and programmers aiming to enhance their expertise in modern API development using gRPC. Prior familiarity with fundamental software development concepts and proficiency in at least one programming language such as C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C# are recommended to fully comprehend the concepts presented in this guide.
